Former Vice President Kamala Harris plans to campaign in Michigan with Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed next week, including at a roundtable on Black maternal health. The appearance is part of Democrats’ effort to unify voters in a state central to the fight for Senate control.
Harris and El-Sayed have spoken several times since she endorsed him after his primary victory, but the planned events will be their first public appearance together. El-Sayed’s campaign spokesperson said they will attend a roundtable focused on Black maternal health. Harris’s spokesperson said she wants to help turn out voters and argued that Democrats need to flip the Senate to lower prices and oppose what he called Donald Trump’s corruption.
El-Sayed faces Republican Mike Rogers in November. The article describes the Michigan seat, currently held by Gary Peters, as a key race for Democrats seeking Senate control. It also notes that other Democrats backed El-Sayed after a divisive primary against Rep. Haley Stevens, and that Pete Buttigieg urged Democrats to unite behind their candidates at an August event.
